Aston Martin’s Chief Trackside Officer Mike Krack suggested that Team Principal Adrian Newey will be present at this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix, after a three-month break from trackside duties. Newey had not been seen since the season-opener in Australia where he highlighted issues with the Honda power unit and the drivers’ risks. In Melbourne, he took on new responsibilities with the team but was absent in China and subsequent races due to unconfirmed reports of an illness. Krack hinted that Newey’s experience and advice could benefit the team in Monaco, where he has had many successes. Newey’s return could help Aston Martin continue its progress alongside Honda amid early season challenges.
